In this survival fiction story on the Great Stone Face list this year, we meet four children who are in a plane crash in the Amazon rainforest. The find clues that they are not the first to live there. They follow a map to what they hope will be the way home and find the owner of the things they found - The Explorer. I enjoyed the story, although I found it took a bit too long to get to the meat of it. I also would have very much liked much more backstory on the children. I found the lack of it kept me from connecting and really liking any of them. If you like adventure survival stories, you will like this. It started out very much like Hatchet, which I was unhappy about, but it blazed its own trail (pun intended) in the genre. (FIC RUN)
